In the picturesque setting of Fat International in Aspen, Colorado, Hoonigan teams up with Volkswagen to unveil a true automotive marvel - a 1987 Volkswagen Golf like no other. This beast boasts a whopping 650 horsepower from twin engines, a setup rarely seen even in today's supercars. With a tube chassis and a turbocharged 16-valve engine mounted longitudinally, this Golf is a true engineering masterpiece. The front engine placement, wider body, and unique design elements all contribute to its exceptional performance on the track.
What sets this Golf apart is not just its power, but its history. Built in 1987 with the sole purpose of winning races, this car remains unchanged, a testament to its initial success. The intricate details of the car's construction, from the separate radiators for each engine to the Formula 2 transmission, showcase the level of innovation that went into its creation. Despite its age, this Golf can still hold its own against modern-day racing machines, a true testament to its timeless design and engineering prowess.
Inside the car, the driver is greeted with a cockpit that exudes racing pedigree. From the narrow throttle to the dual gearboxes and multiple switches for engine control, every detail is geared towards one thing - performance. The lightweight construction, custom aluminum parts, and rapid build process all contribute to making this Golf a true track monster. With Volkswagen Motorsport's involvement in the engine rebuild, this Golf not only represents a piece of automotive history but also a symbol of continued support for classic racing machines. As this unique Golf makes its mark once again on the Colorado track, it stands as a reminder of a bygone era of racing ingenuity and fearless driving.
